Video Rivers
Snapshot of the Video Rivers film, showing the reflection of a mountain man walking along the Snake River.
The Grand Teton National Park Video Rivers are a series of high definition films projected from the floor of the Craig Thomas Discovery and Visitor Center. The Rivers symbolize a key feature of Grand Teton National Park, the Snake River, while providing unique perspectives on the park and its central themes. A nature soundtrack complements the scenes, while bird's eye views and other unique camera angles provide a shifting, uplifting view of the mountains and valley, as dynamic as the park itself. View the Video Rivers online: www.grandtetonpark.org/video_rivers_s/71.htm. You can also purchase this unique high definition film from our partner, Grand Teton Association. Or experience this unique multimedia presentation in person at the Craig Thomas Discovery and Visitor Center in Moose, Wyoming. |
